Chapter 16: Into the Cave

Through the bright moonlight, the strange mountains and stones around are vaguely visible, and from a distance, they show all kinds of outlines, but at this moment, Yu Fei seems to have these outlines more like demons with teeth and claws, which makes people feel terrifying and gloomy. Others seem to have become accustomed to this environment, and Luo Zi and the praying mantis even argue about whether the sound of insects on the side of the road is coming from crickets or mantises.

Yu Fei looked up at the sky as he walked, only to see that this moment was the bright moon in the sky, the sky was full of stars, and the starlight was also extremely clear, "Such a beautiful starry sky may only be seen when you leave the bustling city." Yu Fei, who has been drifting in Shenzhen all these years, suddenly felt a longing for his hometown, and his nervousness was relieved a lot.

Under the leadership of Ding Laosan, the group turned around, and they didn't remember how many intersections they turned, Yu Fei was very strange in his heart, how could this Ding Laosan remember such a complicated mountain road.

After walking for half an hour, Ding Laosan took everyone to a mountain recess. Ding Laosan pointed to a tabletop-sized stone on the ground and said to everyone, "It's here!" ”。

After the old ghost and the praying mantis put down the bag, Ding Laosan instructed the old ghost to move the stone away, only to see the old ghost holding the stone with both hands, and with a loud roar, he lifted the hundreds of catties of stones, and with another effort, the stone was lifted aside.

Seeing that Yu Fei and Luo Zi were dumbfounded. "Brother Ghost, you are a cow, you are simply born with divine power!" Yu Fei praised.

Ding Laosan smiled and said, "You are right, the old ghost is really a cow, so he is brute." Alright, let's go down. Only then did Yu Fei notice that where the stone was lifted, a square black hole the size of a bed-table extending downwards appeared.

"This thief hole was dug by Hao'er, this kid, the place is dug quite accurately, but it's a pity that I saw the wrong feng shui." Ding Laosan said as he took out a thin rope from his backpack.

"I'll go down first, you guys will come down one by one along this rope, praying mantis, you're on it, responsible for controlling the wind." After speaking, Ding Laosan threw the two backpacks into the hole, then grabbed the rope and jumped into the hole.

A moment later, Ding Laosan's shout came from inside the cave: "Come down." ”

Then, the old ghost, Ye Lao, and Luo Zi went down the thief hole in turn, and it was Yu Fei's turn, his nervous feet trembled, and the praying mantis looked at it from the side and smiled: "It's okay, it's much safer down here than above." ”

Yu Fei turned his heart sideways and climbed down the rope with his head.

However, he forgot to throw down the backpack first, and crawling in this narrow thief cave with the bag on his back seemed more crowded, Yu Fei descended very slowly, the cave walls on both sides of the thief cave were smooth and tight, but there was a strong smell of mud, and occasionally some unknown insects crawled over Yu Fei's body, a terrifying atmosphere has been shrouded in Yu Fei's heart, and the depressing atmosphere even made him feel that he was about to suffocate.

At this time, he just wanted to go down to the tomb as soon as possible, but why this robbery hole was so long, and he didn't know how it was dug in the first place.

After climbing down for an unknown amount of time, Yu Fei finally descended into the tomb, feeling like he had climbed for a century.

There was a faint fishy smell wafting from the tomb, but at this moment, Yu Fei felt that the air was extremely fresh.

Luo Zi had been waiting below to answer Yu Fei, while Ding Laosan, Ye Lao and the old ghost were busy in front, Yu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and walked over with Luo Zi.

The old ghost put a candlestick incense burner on the ground, inserted three incense sticks, and put a plate of fruit offerings, poured three cups of water and wine, Ding Laosan knelt in front of him, chanting words in his mouth, and Ye Lao stood aside with a compass and was checking.

After a while, Ding Laosan straightened up, turned around and saw Yu Fei, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu, you have finally come down, if you don't come again, we are ready to call it a day." ”

Yu Fei was shocked: "Ah! That's it? This Five Elements Soul Locking Array was broken like this? ”

Ye Lao smiled: "Haha, it hasn't started yet." This is just worshipping the Lord of the Land, he is the tomb keeper here, so you should come and worship together. Yu Fei and Luo Zi followed Ye Lao's instructions, and also stepped forward and bowed a few times.

Then, the old ghost set up another set of candlestick incense burners next to him, and this time he inserted four pillars of incense.

"Why did you insert an extra pillar of incense this time, is this great god who wants to worship now be one level older than the land lord." Luo Zi guessed using the theory of the military rank system of the army.

"Now it is to worship the tomb owner of this tomb, this incense burns to pay attention to the 'three gods and four ghosts', worship the gods on three incense, worship the ghosts and gods on the four incense." Ye Lao explained on the side.

When worshipping the tomb owner, Ding Laosan also had an extra charm in his hand. Ye Lao told Yu Fei and Luo Zi that this charm was an exorcism talisman that could drive away the accumulated evil qi in the tomb.

After worshipping the tomb owner, Ding Laosan breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yu Fei asked, "Where is this Five Elements Soul Locking Array?" ”

Ding Laosan said: "I haven't arrived yet, the tomb layout of this ancient tomb, according to my speculation, should be built according to the 'Taoist Seven Palaces', we are now in the corridor into this tomb, and the Five Elements Soul Locking Array is in the second tomb." Only then did Yu Fei notice that the position they were now in was a corridor of about ten meters.

"How can you locate this thief hole so accurately and hit it just above this aisle?" Yu Fei looked at the corridor and asked suspiciously.

Ye Lao said: "This has to be found through feng shui observation to locate the approximate location of the ancient tomb, and then you have to use the Luoyang shovel to determine the exact location of the tomb." ”

Ye Lao said, and let the old ghost take out a semi-cylindrical shovel from his bag. "This is the Luoyang shovel, use it to poke the ground vertically downward, and then use this shovel to bring out the soil underground, according to the soil quality, you can determine whether there is a tomb underground and the approximate depth of the tomb. If this Luoyang shovel is connected to the long handle, it can dig down to a depth of tens of meters. ”

"Could it be that the long thief hole we just came down from was dug little by little by such a gadget?" Yu Fei couldn't help but admire in his heart.

"Hehe, that was the old soil method, but now we use high-tech - directional blasting, and there will be no trace of digging soil." Ding Laosan said.

As he spoke, Ding Laosan led everyone to step through an arch and stepped into the first chamber of this ancient tomb.

This is a space of about ten square meters, and the entire burial chamber is actually made of stone, and there seem to be some patterns carved on the walls of the burial chamber, but perhaps because of the age, many places have fallen off, so it is not very clear. In the center of the floor of the tomb, a gossip pattern is engraved, and the ground covered by the gossip is slightly sunk. And on the left and right sides of the tomb, there are two stone statues of generals wearing armor and different expressions, each stone statue is more than one person high, it looks majestic, with a light, the black and deep eyes of the stone statue will reflect a faint light, which makes people feel creepy. It's just that the hands that these stone statues are supposed to hold weapons are empty.

Yu Fei was puzzled and asked, "Why don't these general's stone statues have weapons?" ”

"Hmph, they were all taken away by Hao'er's unruly guys, but now they are all thrown in the second burial chamber." As he spoke, Ding Laosan took a deep breath.

Since walking into this tomb, Yu Fei's mood has not been so nervous, this tomb is very calm, it is indeed not much different from the cellar, but the decoration is a little better. And Luo Zi may be in a professional habit, and he suddenly became alert, and he took every step very carefully. Ye Lao and Ding Laosan walked in front of no one else, but they didn't seem to be worried about any accidents at all. Luo Zi was a little strange: "Didn't you say that there are many mechanisms in this ancient tomb, how do you look at the state of the second elder, it's like walking in your own house." ”

Ding Laosan smiled and said, "The mechanism in this tomb has long been broken by Hao'er and them, and I have also checked it carefully, so there should be no danger now." ”

After a while, everyone came to a cyan slate more than one person high, only to see Ding Laosan fiddling with a few protruding stone bricks above the slate, the cyan slate slowly sank, and a small arch appeared in front of everyone.
